Knew a guy who taught special forces. Said porcupine was the worst thing he ever ate. You had to boil it for hours.
Wow, I can’t even imagine that.
On the other hand; According to books on the Lewis and Clark expedition, the best thing they ate was ........ Beaver Tail.
Gets lonely on the road, I guess.
Yeah, but it provides its own kabobs...........
I bet skinning it was a pain...............
What’s the difference between John Kerry in a Corvette convertible and a porcupine backed into a corner?
In the first sityouashun, the prick’s on the inside .... heh.
Yeah. Otherwise it has a real sharp, kind of prickly, taste.
Well, that’s because the porcupine shouldn’t be boiled, especially if it hasn’t had all the fat removed. After removing all the fat then slow roasting is the way to go. As he is a member of special forces Im betting he often cant have an open fire anyway. Hot rock roasting in an earth pit and buried for several hours is something he may be able to get away with if he is coming back to the same area because the rocks can be heated in the pit by a small stick fire and the whole thing is buried so it doesn’t leave a trail of smoke leading back to camp. Most of us can just stuff root vegetables inside the carcass and wrap it in tinfoil. Then place it loosely between two well spaced small logs and build a good stick fire on top of the tin foil. Do this in the morning before you head out for your activities for the day. When you get back youll have a very tender roast pork meal waiting for you.
